    renaming folders in Launchpad on OS X 10.8

    I didn't make any changes to the permissions or anything like that. Weird. Whoops. Sorry for the double post. I couldn't merge this one to the one before it and then delete this one.

    renaming folders in Launchpad on OS X 10.8

    I ended up just rebooting the MacBook Pro and that seemed to have fixed it. I guess that having an uptime of close to 30 days - it didn't like that despite the OS being derived from *BSD.

    renaming folders in Launchpad on OS X 10.8

    I'll try DeltaMac's suggestion and if that doesn't work; I'll try this. Although I should think/hope that everything is governed by some kind of text file that I can edit with the CLI...but you never know. (yea...I'm rather comfortable with most of the CLI stuff; if I have to, as long as I...

    renaming folders in Launchpad on OS X 10.8

    Umm.....in that case, I'm not sure if I have sharing enabled or not. I'll have to check when I get home. I enabled root so that I can build a index of all files sitting on the drive (so that I know what tools I do and don't have (when compared to Linux/Solaris). If I don't enable it, I get a...

    Has anybody ever tried running Solaris (natively) on a 13" MBP (mid 2010)?

    It's a correct/clarification on my comment that I wrote where I said that apparently you can write to a NTFS partition (which was true because it was mounted over SMB); but won't be true if someone were to try to attach a drive directly. Just CMA...

    renaming folders in Launchpad on OS X 10.8

    Regular Finder - yes, I can change folder names there. No shares have been defined on the MBP. (All of the file sharing/data is routed through my centralized servers.) I don't know. I've never tried changing the names of the folders in Launchpad. This is the first time that I'm trying it...

    Has anybody ever tried running Solaris (natively) on a 13" MBP (mid 2010)?

    No no. Perhaps I wasn't very clear when I was writing it. The current system is actually hosted on a 2U server (12 bays, 10 of which are occupied by 3 TB drives), connected to an ARC-1230 12-port SATA 3 Gbps RAID HBA + an OS drive (I forget the size off the top of my head), which has a single...

    renaming folders in Launchpad on OS X 10.8

    How do I get to the Launchpad through Finder? (yes, I'm still very much a Mac n00b)

    renaming folders in Launchpad on OS X 10.8

    Hi. I don't know why this is but my 13" MBP (mid 2010) isn't letting me rename the folders in Launchpad at all. (ANY folder - doesn't matter whether it's ones that I just created or ones that's been there for a while.) Is there a way for me to do that via CLI or something like that? And...

    Has anybody ever tried running Solaris (natively) on a 13" MBP (mid 2010)?

    @DeltaMac So apparently the reason WHY I could write to a NTFS partition/array (off my central server) is because it WAS being mounted (on the MBP) via SMB (which seems to be the default). So I'm not sure how it would perform without SMB, so just to clarify - OS X might still be read-only for...

    Has anybody ever tried running Solaris (natively) on a 13" MBP (mid 2010)?

    "how does one determine what is the best use for that?" Realistically - by testing it. For Linux and Windows systems running computationally intensive tasks (Folding@Home, CFD, FEA); setting the processor affinity can result anywhere from a 5-14% performance INCREASE (because you...

    Has anybody ever tried running Solaris (natively) on a 13" MBP (mid 2010)?

    @DeltaMac Here's another example of why I would like to download and compile some of the Solaris commands over: CPU affinity - in Solaris, you can set the processor affinity with pbind(1M). But suppose you have to create a subset of processor that you then want to bind the process to; you...

    CPU affinity

    It looks like that you're looking for taskset. Apparently, from the looks of it; that is NOT available in OS X. And also according to this source, it says that the FreeBSD version of that is cpuset. Otherwise, it doesn't look like that it's possible at all. I wonder if you can actually...

    Has anybody ever tried running Solaris (natively) on a 13" MBP (mid 2010)?

    Well...having done SOME advanced research is better than having done none at all. Sometimes. I actually downloaded Darwin like a realllly long time ago, but never got around to installing it so that I can play with it. But in some other respects, because of my grossly underqualified...

    Has anybody ever tried running Solaris (natively) on a 13" MBP (mid 2010)?

    Thanks for the tips about the NTFS drivers. I did a bit of reading on Anandtech because they usually go quite in-depth (and also Arstechnica) about OS X; so I am somewhat familiar with some of what it can and can't do. But in terms of the intimate details; it's only now that I started using...

    Has anybody ever tried running Solaris (natively) on a 13" MBP (mid 2010)?

    Yea....but why do that when I can go through SMB - which is free? (And it works).

    Has anybody ever tried running Solaris (natively) on a 13" MBP (mid 2010)?

    I don't know/think that Linux or Solaris can r/w to NTFS though so either way; I'm going to have to add some kind of like a network protocol on top of the host FS. And also because my array (and soon-to-be it's twin) is 30 TB raw (27 TB RAID5); a lot of the more traditional FS doesn't really...

    Has anybody ever tried running Solaris (natively) on a 13" MBP (mid 2010)?

    The last two doesn't look like it's ftpd. It's ftp. I'm guessing that there's some other way of connecting/sharing files/data between a Mac and PC/Linux/Solaris since OS X can't write to NTFS (still) and besides NFS (or NFS+) and SMB - those are the only two "common" FSes that I can think of...

    Has anybody ever tried running Solaris (natively) on a 13" MBP (mid 2010)?

    That's IF Solaris works. (And that's a huge IF). I think that for the touchpad to respond to the right-click (without using Ctrl+Click); it requires special drivers. If Solaris doesn't (quite) work, then the top(1) question is still back on the table. (And as always, I should keep it on the...

    Has anybody ever tried running Solaris (natively) on a 13" MBP (mid 2010)?

    I don't have my MBP with me at work, but when I get home, I should probably be able to answer that question better. I kind of grew up with Solaris (to somewhat of an extent) and there are a number of tools from Solaris that I really like that I have found them to be tremendously efficient and...
